Context

Memory was gutted in the RemoteClaw fork (WI-079, Middleware Boundary Principle — agents bring their own memory). The entire agents.defaults.memorySearch config tree (~35+ keys) and the compaction.memoryFlush sub-config are parsed by Zod but have zero consumers.

What to remove

memorySearch config tree

Types in src/config/types.tools.ts:

• MemorySearchConfig type and all nested types (provider, remote, local, store, vector, chunking, query, hybrid, MMR, temporal decay, cache, sync)

Types in src/config/types.agent-defaults.ts:

• memorySearch?: MemorySearchConfig at :180
• import type { MemorySearchConfig } from "./types.tools.js" at :9

Zod schema in src/config/zod-schema.agent-defaults.ts:

• Full memorySearch schema tree — replace with z.unknown().optional() stub

Help text in src/config/schema.help.ts:

• Lines :714-798 (~45 lines) — all agents.defaults.memorySearch.* entries

Labels in src/config/schema.labels.ts:

• Lines :283-325 (~43 lines) — all agents.defaults.memorySearch.* entries

Legacy migration rules in src/config/legacy.rules.ts:

• Line :160-162 — memorySearch → agents.defaults.memorySearch migration

compaction memoryFlush config

Types in src/config/types.agent-defaults.ts:

• AgentCompactionMemoryFlushConfig type (:317-331)
• memoryFlush?: AgentCompactionMemoryFlushConfig in AgentCompactionConfig (:314)

Zod schema — remove memoryFlush from compaction schema, replace with z.unknown().optional() stub.

Help text — remove any agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush.* entries.

Dead tool display entry

• src/agents/tool-display-overrides.json:75 — memory_search entry (memory tool gutted)

Tests

• src/config/schema.help.quality.test.ts — remove all agents.defaults.memorySearch.* from expected key lists (:71-101, :486-493, :631)
• src/config/merge-patch.test.ts — remove memorySearch test cases (:16-51)

What to KEEP

• compaction.mode, compaction.reserveTokens, compaction.keepRecentTokens, etc. — alive (context management)
• compaction.identifierPolicy / identifierInstructions — alive

Acceptance Criteria

• Entire memorySearch config tree removed from types, Zod schema, help, labels, legacy rules
• compaction.memoryFlush removed from types and Zod schema
• Zod compat stubs (z.unknown().optional()) in place for parse compatibility
• Dead tool display entry removed
• All affected tests updated
• bun run build passes
• bun run test passes
• Existing configs with memorySearch or memoryFlush fields still parse without error
